The men
I was listening to the radio the other day and the
discussion was about how difficult it was to chat up and date Nigerian women.
The callers were mostly men who felt that the women were too guarded and
hardened. One said that the only word women appreciated was ‘Naira.’ He was
convinced that Nigerian women were too materialistic and frustrating the
menfolk.
The women
Many women said men were always hassling them and only
interested in chatting them up for sex. Even married men with children pester
and molest women; and girls young enough to be their daughters. That sexual
molestation and assault was way too common and way too uncouth, unskilled and
in your face: especially from ugly men who use their position and power to try
and get sex.
So, there is frustration on both sides. The truth, of
course, is that women like all the nice things and that include subtlety,
politeness, truth and romance. This is what men lack in the majority, believing
that money can buy anything.
Sex please, we are Nigerians
Every woman has that magic button that, when pushed at the
right time and with the right pressure, gets her instantly in the mood for your
attention. You need to be able to gauge the conditions and circumstances so
that you can make a successful pitch. The following, therefore, is what women
want and a blueprint of how to get a woman into a relationship.
Be appreciative
Women like to be complimented. You know how long they
spend preening and pruning the forest to turn it into a well manicured garden.
So, appreciate the efforts and the results. Tell her she looks nice, beautiful
or hot as the case may be. Compliment her hair, especially if she had spent
time frying her head in the ‘microwave’ to make it straight (No, please don’t
go sticking your heads in the microwave!).
Be patient
Take life easy and enjoy the moment, her company and the
conversation. Understand who she is, where she is from and where she is headed
in life. Show interest in her interests and the barricades will come down.
Don’t rush around like a headless chicken, all excited that you start talking
rubbish. Don’t be pushy, as nothing is more a turnoff than a man all in a
fluster. Be awesome, patient and hot, and eventually things will happen.
Learn to flirt creatively
Be subtle but use conversation to flirt. Use her words and
innuendos to get messages across and get her thinking about afters. This is
especially great with your loved one for those already in a relationship. You
know that the stress of life at times makes you take your partner for granted.
Sometimes when you’ve been in a relationship for a long time, the anticipation
of seeing each other goes away. So, recapture the spark by sending suggestive
text messages, emails or sly touches of her favourite places.
Act and be in control
Women like a man who is in control and takes charge. Don’t
be backward in coming forward and leading from the front. Plan dates from start
to the finish and make it happen as planned. Knowing you took the time to
ensure you have fun times together outside the bedroom gets women amped to have
a good time in the bedroom.
Cook a meal
Invite the woman of your affection and cook her a fabulous
dinner. Many Nigerian men do not and cannot cook, having been spoilt by their
mothers. It is great to cook a delicious nourishing meal for your partner.
Women love to feel spoilt and they know if you can cook, you can take care of
them. So, pop to the market and select ingredients for your woman today. Cook
dinner and add mood enhancers. I’m talking about a clean apartment, good background
music, maybe some flowers on the table with chocolate for dessert.
Learn how to kiss
Kissing is an expression of emotions — whether of
friendship, love, or passion. Kissing is one among the universal acts of
showing love. Almost everyone receives or gives a kiss at some point in their
life. A kiss can be placed on any part of the face or body. You’ll give an
acquaintance a peck on the cheek, a first date a lingering kiss on the lips,
and your spouse a passionate French kiss.
Slobbering or suffocating your woman with your tongue is
such a turn-off. If you need help, try kissing a Coca-Cola bottle or a banana.
With the bottle, you learn the round-the-rim technique and the in and out
moves. With the banana, try moving your tongue round clockwise and anti-clockwise
and become a good kisser. It’s pretty much as simple as that.
Life and love are so simple and complex at the same time.
But, a little effort to convey your honourable intentions goes a long way. Most
important of course, is honesty of purpose and clarity of your objectives.
